Environmental Technologies In Romanian It

In Romania, key ICT and environmental legislation was adopted during the EU accession process, in the form of national adaptations of EU directives. There is coherent climate change legislation, a strategy and a detailed implementation plan in place in Romania, although it is lagging behind EU standards in terms of implementation. It is possible for Romania to have an immediate economic stimulus and job creation while moving quickly to abide by the requirements of climate change legislation and energy efficiency directives. The costs of implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy measures are minimal as they are not cash expenditures but rather investments paid back by future, continuous energy savings. In this paper, we will focus on two areas pertaining to Romania’s environment policies, namely climate change and waste management and propose a series of action steps to develop in these areas further.
